So I know its not really an X issue because I can ssh to the machine and run xclock with no problem. But since its an X app that’s dieing I thought I’d place my plea for help here.

Any thoughts ? or is there better vid capture software out there I should be using knowing that I want to export the display?

Thanks for your help!

I agree with you. as a reg user I have the same issue. so running as root does not seem to be the probelm here.

I'm not sure what the -Y switch is, but yes I did use -X and it works fine with xclock so X though ssh seems to be ok.

well -x would turn off xforwarding so I would not expect it to work. -X turns it on. I looked up the -Y it turns on trusted X forwarding, since -X works for me I don't need this. I did not know about the -C which is very cool

None of this fixes my issue though.

I also fired up VNC and conneced to the machine. everything works fine with it. But its getting a full gui env so now I'm thinking my problem has something to do with the fact that my ssh does not get a windows manager like a reg login and vnc do.
